Abstract

There are many industrial situations particularly in petro-chemical, marine, power plant and other such industries where the use of dissimilar metal weldments is necessary, mainly due to economic benefits and also sometimes to improve the performance of the component. Both austenitic stainless steels and duplex stainless steels have received much attention in recent days due to their superior anti-corrosive and mechanical properties. Further, the use of shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process is inevitable in engineering industries. In the present work, microstructure, mechanical and intergranular corrosion behavior of dissimilar 2205 duplex stainless steel and 316L austenitic stainless steel fabricated by SMAW process using E2209 electrode by taking two different heat input (0.45–0.60 kJ/mm) was investigated. The microstructures were characterized by using optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while the localized chemical information was obtained by an energy dispersive spectrometer attached to the SEM. Double loop electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation test was performed to quantitatively assessing the intergranular corrosion based on degree of sensitization. The effect of weld dilution on mechanical properties (i.e. tensile/hardness properties) was also studied. The ferrite content was experimentally measured by using ferritoscope and it was observed that the weld joint achieved the required ferrite content for both the heat inputs. Higher ferrite content (results of faster cooling rate) increased the hardness and tensile strength of low heat input as compared to high heat input. While, high heat input improved the corrosion resistance due to formation of higher austenitic phases. Higher impact energy was observed in E2209 weld metal than that of the base metals. No welding defects were observed and recommended for industrial use.
